Not quite sure what to read into this, but it's certainly another question-raising moment about Feinstein's handling of this. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/14/us/politics/kavanaugh-assault-allegation-letter.html …pic.twitter.com/hwzf9eO7Vl

Having been a victim of sexual assault myself, I have to say this: A predator only preys on some women not ALL women he knows. This letter doesn't invalidate her claim, but it sure makes me feel more suspicious about Kavanaugh. She's been victimized again bc she dare to speak up
-
They probably know who she is, and are trying to subdue her voice because "he will lose so much if this sees the light of day", "he learned his lesson", "it was so long ago", or "this bitch can't let this go and move on" have heard them all.

Just because none of the 65 women had this problem,doesn’t mean it didn’t happen to the one woman who said it did. How well do you really think you know someone?

So a group of 65 women who knew Kavanaugh, who went to an all boys school, over 30 years ago managed to communicate in one day and put this letter together. Is it just me or does that sound somewhat ridiculous.

You don’t have Facebook, do you?

Very easy to get people to agree, like or sign a petition to just about anything on Facebook.

In this case, we have no "proof" this victim exists & we have no proof or witnesses that it happened. Its a he/she said event at best until she comes forward and gives testimony. He has a right to face his accuser. It's not justice any more it's political character smear.

I knew a guy who made the news twice. The first, when his wife kidnapped his kids. It was heart breaking. The police got them back. He was a great guy always nice very friendly. The second time he made the news because he got caught molesting his kids. Monsters can seem nice.
